Budizem izpoveduje več kot 500 milijonov ljudi po vsem svetu in je četrta največja religija na svetu. Budizem je star približno 2500 let in se je začel v 6. stoletju na podlagi Budovih naukov. To je religija, ki se osredotoča na mir in spokojnost ter pomen moralnega in dobrega življenja.
Judovstvo je ena najstarejših neprekinjeno izvajanih religij na svetu, ki se je začela pred približno 4000 leti. Danes judovstvo prakticira približno 15 milijonov ljudi po vsem svetu. Ta starodavna religija je bila prva monoteistična (verovala je v enega Boga) in je korenina današnjih dveh največjih religij, krščanstva in islama.
Sikhizem izpoveduje približno 26 milijonov ljudi in je peta največja religija na svetu. Beseda sikh v pandžabščini pomeni božji učenec. Privrženec sikhizma časti enega Boga in si prizadeva živeti mirno življenje poštenosti, dobrodelnosti, enakosti in vere.
Krščanstvo izpoveduje približno 2,4 milijarde ljudi po vsem svetu, zaradi česar je največja vera na svetu. Kristjani verjamejo v življenje in nauke Jezusa Kristusa, za katerega menijo, da je Mesija ali odrešenik vsega človeštva. Jezusov nauk je bil osredotočen na ljubezen, odpuščanje, mir in upanje.
